Answer:
the return on investment is 19.55%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on investment is shown below:
Return on investment is
= (Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets) × 100
= ($940,160 ÷ 4,810,000) × 100
= 19.55%
Hence, the return on investment is 19.55%
Assume the state of Alaska placed a tax on playing cards of 5 cents per pack. If the state generated $55500 in revenue, how many packs of cards were sold?
Answer:
The right solution is "1,110,000 units".
Explanation:
Given:
Tax revenue,
= $55500
Tax per good,
= 5 cents
As we know,
⇒ [tex]Tax \ revenue=Tax \ per \ good\times goods[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]55500=0.05\times Q[/tex]
[tex]Q=\frac{55500}{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]=1,110,000 \ units[/tex]

The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"
Final shares is computed as follows:
= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)
= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)
= $50,000 * 1.014
= $50,700
As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.
Bonner Metals wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 8.5 percent bonds on the market that sell for $959, make semiannual payments, and mature in 16 years. What should the coupon rate be on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par?
Answer: 8.99%
Explanation:
The coupon rate on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par will be calculated thus:
Par value = 1000
Selling value = 959
Maturity = 16 × 2 = 32
Coupon = 8.5% = 8.5% × 1000 = $85
Semiannual PMT = $85/2 = $42.5
The coupon rate on the new bonds will be:
= Rate(32, 42.5, -959, 1000) × 2
= 8.99
Coupon rate = 8.99%

Explanation:
You are an executive with an internet merchandizing company. Azzamon Inc. You have been assigned the task of analyzing whether to add a new warehouse in Atlanta or in Boston. A consulting firm whom you paid $100 K to do a study has narrowed the choice down to these two cities. You currently have two other warehouses in other cities. You must decide whether the following is relevant or irrelevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse? Consultant Fee: Relevant Irrelevant
Answer:
Azzamon Inc.
Consultant Fee:
Irrelevant.
Explanation:
The consultant fee is not relevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse. It is like a sunk cost that has already been incurred. The two cities recommended by the consultant will be considered based on their relevant statistics and data and not based on the fee paid to the consultant. A relevant cost impacts the decision at hand. One relevant cost for making a decision of this nature is the cost of installing facilities at the locations.

Answer options: 2,195,000 878,000 1,097,500 427,000 343,000
Answer:
Hamilton Construction Company
The portion of the total contract price would be recognized as revenue in 2020 is:
= $878,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contract price = $2,195,000.
2020 2021
Costs incurred during the year $637,600 $1,000,000
Total estimated cost 1,594,000 1,637,600
Billings during the year 427,000 2,195,000
Collections during the year 343,000 1,509,000
Percentage of completion= Cost incurred in 2020/Total estimated cost in 2020 * 100
= $637,600/$1,594,000 * 100
= 40%
Revenue to be recognized in 2020 = 40% * Contract Price
= $878,000 ($2,195,000 * 40%)
Which of these is more likely to be true?
A. An adaptor is likely to consider radical innovations
B. An innovator is likely to consider incremental innovations
C. Large companies often find it easier to adopt radical innovations.
D. Innovators will often push for radical innovations.
Answer: D. Innovators will often push for radical innovations.
Explanation:
A radical innovation is one that when made, changes up the way things were being done in the industry that it appears in. For instance, when the first digital camera was made, it changed photography forever.
This is what innovators want. They want to come up with a product that would change the way things are being done and enable them to take over the market.
Three years ago, Kuley invested $32,200. In 2 years from today, he expects to have $50,300. If Kuley expects to earn the same annual return after 2 years from today as the annual rate implied from the past and expected values given in the problem, then in how many years from today does he expect to have exactly $87,200
Answer:
8.17 years(closest to 8 years )
Explanation:
The future value of $50,300, would be accumulated after 5 years of having made the investment(3 years+2 years=5 years)
As a result, we can determine the annual rate of return based on the future value in year 5 using the future value formula below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=future value=$50,300
PV=amount invested initially=$32,200
r=unknown=annual rate of return
n=5 years
$50,300=$32,200*(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200=(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200 can be rewritten as ($50,300/$32,200)^1
($50,300/$32,200)^1=(1+r)^5
divide index on both sides by 5
($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)=1+r
r=($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)-1
r=9.33%
Our next task is to determine how long( in years) it takes to accumulate a future value of $87,200 from today's point, which means we need to determine the value of the investment today( 3 years after making the investment)
FV=$32,200*(1+9.33%)^3
FV=value of investment today=$42,079.82
Lastly, we can ascertain when $42,079.82 today would become $87,200
$87,200=$42,079.82*(1+9.33%)^n
n=number of years=unknown
$87,200/$42,079.82=(1+9.33%)^n
$87,200/$42,079.82=1.0933^n
take log of both sides
ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)=n ln(1.0933)
n=ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)/ln(1.0933)
n=0.72863604/0.08920065
n=8.17 years( from today, approx 8 years)

Ajax Inc. was formed on April 25 and elected a calendar year for tax purposes. Ajax paid $13,200 to the attorney who drew up the articles of incorporation and $7,100 to the CPA who advised the corporation concerning the accounting and tax implications of its organization. Ajax began business operations on July 15. To what extent can Ajax deduct its $20,300 organizational costs on its first tax return
Answer: $5510
Explanation:
For organizations cost up to $50,000, there'll be a deduction of $5000. The remaining non deductible expense will then be spread out for 180 months. Here, the non deductible cost will be:
= ($13200 + $7100) - $5000
= $20300 - $5000
= $15300
The capitalized cost will then be:
= $15300 / 180
= $85 per month.
Since there's an ammortization of 6 months from July, then the capitalized cost will be:
= $85 × 6
= $510
Therefore, the amount that should be deducted on its first tax return will be:
= $5000 + $510
= $5510
NoFly Corporation sells three different models of a mosquito "zapper." Model A12 sells for $53 and has variable costs of $45. Model B22 sells for $101 and has variable costs of $81. Model C124 sells for $406 and has variable costs of $315. The sales mix of the three models is A12, 59%; B22, 27%; and C124, 14%. What is the weighted-average unit contribution margin? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.50.) Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin $ ______.
Answer:
$22.86
Explanation:
Model A12 Model B22 Model C124
Selling price per unit $53 $101 $406
Variable costs per unit $45 $81 $315
Contribution margin per unit $8 $20 $91
Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = (Model A12 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix) + (Model B22 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix) + (Model C124 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix)
Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = ($8 * 59%) + ($20 * 27%) + ($91 * 14%)\
Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = $4.72 + $5.4 + $12.74
Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = $22.86
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ________ economy.
Answer:
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ____capitalist____ economy.
Explanation:
For example, the US economy provides a good example of a capitalist economy. A capitalist or market economy is also known as capitalism. It is an economic system whereby private individuals or businesses own capital goods or means of production. Therefore, the production of goods and services is based on the market forces of supply and demand. Since individuals and firms fix prices of and decide what goods and services to produce, rather than through central planning by the government, it is also known as a market economy. The opposite is called a command economy, characterized by central government planning.
7.You invested in long-term corporate bonds and earned 6.1 percent. During that same time period, large-company stocks returned 12.6 percent, long-term government bonds returned 5.7 percent, U.S. Treasury bills returned 4.2 percent, and inflation averaged 3.8 percent. What average risk premium did you earn
Answer: 1.9%
Explanation:
The risk premium is the return that an investment offers over the risk free rate in the market.
The risk free rate is the return on the U.S. Treasury bill in the same period:
Average risk premium = Return on long term corporate bond - Return on U.S. T-bill
= 6.1% - 4.2%
= 1.9%

Most spells of unemployment are long, and most unemployment observed at any given time is long-term. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Unemployment refers to the individuals that are part of the labor force in an economy but cannot find suitable job for themselves.
Most spells of unemployment are not long but rather short while most unemployment observed at any given time is long-term. It should also be noted that the unemployment problem in an economy is usually because of few workers who are without job for long periods of time.
Assume that the price of the sub sandwiches is $4 and the price of tacos is $2. When Harry's income is $14 he buys two Italian sub sandwiches and three tacos. The last column lists the values of the marginal utility per dollar for tacos when the price of tacos decreases to $1. Complete this statement: As a result of the change in price, the marginal utility of each taco Harry consumes increases and:__________
a. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos if they are a normal good, and fewer tacos if they are an inferior good.
b. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy another sub because his purchasing power has increased.
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
d. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy fewer tacos.
Answer:
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
Explanation:
Since the price of tacos decreased, subs became relatively more expensive. The substitution effect occurs when a consumer (Harry in this case) changes his consumption habits because the price of the goods changes. In this case, tacos become cheaper, and therefore, Harry will obtain more utils per dollar.

Group of answer choices.
A. the supply curve, resulting in a lower equilibrium price.
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

Kevin's Company uses a normal costing system, applying overhead using a single plant-wide rate. At the beginning of the year, budgeted (estimated) manufacturing overhead costs totaled $400,000, budgeted direct labor hours totaled 80,000 hours and budgeted machine hours totaled 20,000 hours. At the end of the year, the actual overhead costs recorded totaled $450,000 and actual direct labor hours were 86,000. Kevin's Company's production process is very labor-intensive and therefore uses direct labor hours as the activity base. With this information, what is the assigned (applied) amount of MOH that Sherfield Company assign to production
Answer:
$430,000
Explanation:
MOH recovery rate = Estimated MOH / Estimated direct labor hours
MOH recovery rate = $400,000 / 80,000 hours
MOH recovery rate = $5 per direct labor hours
So, the applied amount of manufacturing overhead rate is $5
Assigned amount of MOH = MOH recovery rate * Actual direct labor hours
Assigned amount of MOH = $5 * 86,000 DLH
Assigned amount of MOH = $430,000
